Calgary, Alberta – Brookfield Residential Properties Inc. (the “Company” or “Brookfield Residential”) (BRP: NYSE/TSX) is pleased to announce that Institutional Shareholders Services (“ISS”), a leading independent proxy firm, has recommended that shareholders vote FOR the special resolution to approve the plan of arrangement (the “Plan of Arrangement”) pursuant to which 1927726 Ontario Inc. (the ”Purchaser”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Brookfield Asset Management Inc., will acquire all of the common shares of the Company that are not already owned by Brookfield Asset Management and its affiliates for consideration of US$24.25 per share.

ISS summarized its recommendation as follows: “The transaction process may be deemed adequate in general as the offer consideration was increased from US$23.00 to US$24.25 as a result of the negotiations. Given that the acquirer is the controlling shareholder of the company, the probability of a superior proposal in this case may be limited. In light of the adequate cash premium and no significantly noted governance concerns, a vote FOR this resolution is warranted.”

The board of directors of Brookfield Residential unanimously (with Messrs. Alan Norris and Timothy Price abstaining) recommends that shareholders vote FOR the Plan of Arrangement.

You may vote via the internet at www.proxyvote.com or following the instructions provided on the form of proxy or voting instruction form.

In addition, the Company, the Purchaser and Brookfield Asset Management Inc. have entered into an amending agreement (“Amending Agreement”) amending the Plan of Arrangement. Such amendment to the Plan of Arrangement provides that the ability to exercise the Repurchase Election has been extended to non-Resident Shareholders, as further described in the press release issued by the Company on February 9, 2015 and in the amendment to the Company’s Rule 13e-3 transaction statement on Schedule 13E-3 dated February 9, 2015, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Shareholders wishing to make such election should consult their own advisors to determine if making such election is appropriate in the particular circumstances. No other changes have been made to the terms or conditions of the Arrangement and the consideration and the date of the shareholders’ meeting are unchanged. At the meeting, shareholders will vote on the Plan of Arrangement, as amended. The Amending Agreement, which includes the amended Plan of Arrangement, is available on the Company’s website at www.brookfieldrp.com as well as under its profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and EDGAR at www.sec.gov.
